🚨 I obtained William & Mary Professor Stephen Sheehi’s What Is Decolonization? syllabus for Fall 2025 through a FOIA request.

It’s every bit as radical as you’d expect — and then some.

Let’s take a look inside. 🧵 Here’s page one of William & Mary Professor Stephen Sheehi’s What Is Decolonization? syllabus for Fall 2025.

It starts with a land acknowledgment but quickly turns into a sweeping denunciation of the university itself — blasting William & Mary for its current ties to “corporations,” “the carceral state,” “the U.S. military,” and “racial capitalism.”

In reality, these are warped claims — things like the university having a campus police force or partnerships with the military are reframed here as evidence of systemic oppression.

This isn’t a course introduction. It’s an ideological manifesto.

Course Overview is already off to the races — diving straight into “cisheteronormativity,” “ableism,” “capitalism,” and “climate disaster.”

And we’ve still got seven more pages to go. 🤡

🚨 The “Behind Enemy Lines” October 7th materials openly list targets across NYC — businesses tied to the President’s family, Democratic offices, major universities, consulates, Jewish organizations, and even private companies.

"No business as usual. Escalate for Gaza."
It’s important to note this militant network has produced similar maps for multiple U.S. cities. Below is the one for Chicago.

🚨 Flag Burning at UVA Isn’t Spontaneous Activism. It’s a Strategy. Don’t Take the Bait.

Meet UVA Law Student Kirk Wolff, the organizer behind the Antifascist Tailgate and Flag Burning hosted by his group, Friends Against Fascism Organization (FAFO).

“My name is Kirk Wolff. I am a US Navy veteran and a law student at the University of Virginia, and I burned an American flag today, about 90 minutes after President Trump said that burning a flag would result in immediate arrest and imprisonment for a year.”

“The real desecration of our nation’s ideals is coming from the White House. That’s who’s desecrating the flag.”

Wolff has a long record of provocative activism and has done the exact same thing before while protesting for Palestine. The last time, UVA invoked time, place, and manner restrictions, and it quickly turned into a media frenzy over a “student threatened with expulsion for Palestine.”

Now he’s at it again, escalating as UVA melts down over being invited to join President Trump’s Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.

Expect more of this. Wolff knows how to manufacture outrage and frame it as persecution. It’s attention-seeking designed to provoke a confrontation that he and his allies can spin into a civil rights cause. Don’t play into his hand. Earlier this year, he managed to spark a full-blown media frenzy — even Reason took the bait. In truth, it was less about censorship or persecution and more about information-seeking gone sideways: an administrator who’d likely never dealt with something like this before, and confusion over whether explicit political advocacy is allowed near UVA’s JAG School.

🚨 Mahmoud Khalil: Columbia is “McCarthyite and authoritarian” 🚨

In a new video, Khalil says Columbia “bent the knee to Trump” and insists the school must “stand up for your students” and “listen, listen to their demands.”

He’s trying to rebrand disruptive encampments as a civil-rights crusade — curious timing, given this drops the same week a judge ruled he can be deported.

Khalil says he wants “difficult conversations.” Okay, let’s start with the CUAD Substack — where, as spokesman, he pushed a movement openly calling for the end of Western civilization. It’s a point @tal_fortgang (follow him) has made again and again. Read their Substack! The second most recent post literally defends someone who torched 11 police cars.

So tell us, Mahmoud — is torching police vehicles your idea of a civil right?

This clip, from a longer interview with Georges Abdallah — the Lebanese Marxist revolutionary — is now being pushed hard across the pro-Palestine social media.

In it, Abdallah frames Elias Rodriguez’s alleged murder of two embassy staffers as a "revolutionary duty" to eliminate "Israeli agents." The rhetoric is extreme: denying that civilians were targeted, dismissing any call for "politeness and restraint," and urging revolutionaries in the West to rise up.

And it’s being shared by everyone from Calla Walsh to Code Pink ally and GWU grad student Moataz "Taz" Salim — all just days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The message is unmistakable: the movement must intensify, even if it means resorting to more extreme and deadly measures.

🚨 UC Riverside Professor Dylan Rodríguez: “F*cking terrorizes civilization. I want to be that kind of terrorist.”

In a recent appearance on Millennials Are Killing Capitalism, Rodríguez — a UC Riverside professor, past president of the American Studies Association, and a leading voice in Ethnic and Black Studies — openly glorified terrorism and insurrection. His teachings don’t stay in the classroom. One of the students he hailed as a “genius” is now serving time for firebombing vehicles at UC Berkeley.

Rodríguez scoffs at nonviolence:

“This pacifism shit will get people killed.”

He praises direct sabotage of federal property:

“Shout out to folks throughout Southern California who are actively disabling ICE vehicles when they find them in the f*cking hotel parking lots.”

And he ties his vision to global militancy:

“Where has Palestinian liberation militancy gone? It’s only upscale. It’s only increased, it’s only globalized, it’s only spread.”

His rhetoric matches his own biography, where he insists:

“Most importantly, Dylan believes in the right — in fact, the obligation — of occupied, colonized, and incarcerated peoples to fight for their liberation… and the parallel responsibility of those who profess solidarity to take all necessary measures to protect, defend, and advance liberation struggle, whatever forms it may take.” One of the students he celebrated as a “singular intellectual, just singular” is now serving time for federal arson and firebombing attacks.

Casey Robert Goonan, 34, of Oakland and Pleasant Hill, pleaded guilty to federal arson charges for a series of firebombings at the Oakland federal building and UC Berkeley in June 2024.

According to the plea deal, Goonan:

Tried to smash windows at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building to throw lit Molotov cocktails inside. When stopped by security, he lit the devices in a planter outside instead.

Days earlier, placed a bag containing six Molotov cocktails under the fuel tank of a marked UC Police Department patrol car at UC Berkeley, lit the bag on fire, and fled. The patrol car caught fire and was destroyed.

This is the same Casey that Rodríguez has mentored for nearly 20 years, put into graduate-level courses as an undergrad, and later guided through a Northwestern PhD — describing him as more than a student, but one of his “most precious colleagues.”

🚨 BREAKING: Code Pink crashes a private dinner with President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“Trump is the Hitler of our time. Free D.C., Free Palestine.”

Why was the Secret Service so slow to respond? How was this even allowed to happen? President Trump had to order them to act! Part 2 which heavily features Olivia DiNucci.

If there’s one soundbite that I hope becomes synonymous with the People’s Conference for Palestine — beyond all the Hamas mentions — it’s this:

“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads..." I noticed a few questions in the replies. Here’s some additional context that should help clarify things.

🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft employees and "community members" calling themselves the "Worker Intifada" have established a "liberated zone," also known as an encampment, on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. "We demand Microsoft cut all ties with the entire economy of genocide immediately."

🚨 UN-Backed Feminist Education Program Features Mahmoud Khalil Praising Terrorist Icon and Urging Student “Revolution”

Earlier this week, I attended Transform Education’s From Classrooms to Revolution, featuring Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil.

What’s troubling is that Transform Education is part of UNGEI, the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative. Instead of focusing on education, the event promoted student “revolution” as a moral duty and necessity.

Khalil praised PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani as an inspiration, framed education as “resistance,” and lauded Columbia’s militant campus activism and mutual aid networks that supported students during arrests. He described carving protest chants into his prison bunk, hailed students as the “moral compass” of radical change, and even preached about “positive masculinity.”

Given the militancy of Columbia’s protests, it’s alarming that a women’s education program would choose Khalil as its keynote speaker. Sapphire, a young feminist activist from Trinidad and Tobago, opened From Classrooms to Revolution by declaring that in many societies, young people are “viewed as powerless, entitled, or in some cases even lazy” and “expected to obey authority without question.” She countered that “students have led many of history’s greatest protests” — from the Soweto uprisings to today’s campus encampments — often “at great personal risk.”

She said the event was “a celebration of student activism, countering the narrative that student activists are deviants,” and closed by declaring, “We are agents of change, shifting the world order away from a movement of extractivism, capitalism, and oppression toward collective liberation, freedom, and justice for all.”

It is certainly surprising to hear such far-left, anti-capitalist rhetoric — the kind you’d expect at a socialist rally, not from a UN-backed education program.

🧵 DSA Co-Chair Hails Zohran Mamdani as “Generational Talent” and Blueprint for Socialist Power in America

At the Socialism 2025 conference, Democratic Socialists of America Co-Chair Ashik Siddique painted a sweeping vision for the future — one built around Zohran Mamdani’s rise from DSA’s ranks to the brink of becoming New York City’s mayor.

Siddique called Mamdani “a unique generational talent” and said his campaign proves the DSA can “have people like Zohran all over the country.” He openly embraced naming “class enemies” and promised that with Mamdani in office, socialists could “confront capital where it matters” in America’s wealthiest city.

The DSA leader credited Mamdani’s win to years of post-Bernie DSA organizing, strong union support, and the group’s coordinated “socialists in office” blocs nationwide. He called the primary victory “the biggest thing for the socialist left in the past century,” praising Mamdani as an “organizer in office” who joins strikes, hunger fasts, and direct actions.

“We are trying to build the party and in many ways, we’re already doing it.”

Not the wildest thread you will read today but a revealing look at how DSA built its power and where it plans to take it next. DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party.

Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty break” using the party’s ballot line until they are forced out.

He described the prevailing “party surrogate model” as running DSA candidates under the Democratic label while building the infrastructure for a future socialist party. Representing the DSA’s Groundwork Caucus, Siddique made the goal explicit: “We are trying to build the party, and in many ways we’re already doing it.”

It is important to understand that Siddique is the DSA’s respectable frontman, the buttoned up figure they present so attention drifts away from members calling to abolish the family or boasting that New York City is flying people in for trans healthcare and footing the bill.

It is an open admission that the DSA’s long game is to hollow out the Democratic Party from the inside until it is ready to replace it or compete against it directly, which, as you will hear later, is exactly what they do in deep blue areas.

🔥DSA Organizer in Texas: We’re Embracing "Direct Confrontation and Contradiction with the State"

This is Saya Clarke. Trans rights activist. DSA organizer. Former addict and sex worker. Co-chair of DSA North Texas.

She took the mic at the now-viral “United Struggles” panel at Socialism 2025 — and delivered a blunt, radical vision of DSA’s work in one of the reddest states in the country.

In Dallas, Clarke helped...

-Pass a trans sanctuary resolution
-Build an underground-aboveground coalition of queer, labor, anti-war, and Palestinian groups
-Spread Marxist feminist political education
-Compile a survival guide for trans and queer services in North Texas

She says her chapter is embracing “direct confrontation and contradiction with the state.”

Then she runs through the latest laws in Texas...

-Retroactive bans on ID changes (Refers to laws prohibiting or reversing changes to legal documents like birth certificates and driver’s licenses)

-Mandated detransition coverage for insurers (If insurance covers gender-affirming care, it must also cover detransition procedures — including retroactively)

-Legalized conversion therapy (Texas never banned it — and “conversion therapy” here includes talk therapy or parental guidance that doesn’t affirm gender identity)

-Stripped protections from LGBTQ youth (This means banning gender-affirming medical interventions for minors — puberty blockers, hormones, surgeries)

“Even my own documents are now illegal.” Clarke describes life as a trans person under "hostile" law:

“The state is actively hostile to my and my loved ones’ way of life.”

She draws a parallel between abortion bans and trans repression, saying lawmakers now use the same “framework of cruelty and denial of dignity” to block “self-determination.”

On the failure of liberal politics:

“We’re living in the unfortunate aftermath of the flawed piecemeal approach to sustaining trans life by a political class that wants you to work when you're sick, that considers pitching a tent to survive a crime against property, that happily shuffled right on immigration, legal or otherwise — the effects of which we are now seeing, that allow police to destroy encampments and arrest students protesting a generational crime against humanity, and that continues to vote to send money to a genocidal colonial ethno-state that livestreams its ethnic cleansing campaign and lashes out at its neighbors.”

She challenges the notion of sanctuary.

“So the word ‘sanctuary’ really does sound great, right? ‘Sanctus’ means holy, and early use was in reference to a church or other sacred place where a fugitive was immune by the law of the medieval church from arrest. Interesting, right? You are still a fugitive and protected by law. Do we remember who makes laws? Do we know how little a supposed law matters when a fascist is out for blood?”

Clarke calls for international solidarity and a unification of all struggles around bodily autonomy.

“We must reorient our politics around bodily autonomy. It is the one feature that unites struggle that connects the children of Gaza being starved to migrants being kidnapped to trans people searching for a truly safe place. Our struggle is by necessity international.”

🚨 Law Professor Tells Students: “We Need to Break the Law Together”

Dean Spade is a professor at @seattleu School of Law, where he teaches Administrative Law, Poverty Law, Gender and Law, Policing and Imprisonment, Professional Responsibility, and Law and Social Movements.

For the past two decades, he has worked to advance what he calls “queer and trans liberation” rooted in racial and economic justice. But in a recent talk, Spade’s message went far beyond academic theory:

“Mutual aid includes rule breaking and lawbreaking… We are going to have to break laws and rules… We need to hide people from ICE. We need to hide people from the cops. We need to break the law together.”

He also urged participants to form a “vibrant underground” and “learn how to keep a good secret” to protect those engaging in illegal activity.

This a law professor tasked with training the next generation of attorneys. Spade gives some examples to "inspire us" like when activists physically blocked Los Angeles sanitation trucks from clearing an encampment at Echo Park in 2020

“Housing justice activists… went and blocked the trucks with their bodies. I love these images. It gives me goosebumps. People are like, no, f*** no. You cannot clear people out of this park… They are terrified of us taking up public space, helping each other survive. The stakes are very high. The work is very important.”

This is coming from someone entrusted to teach Professional Responsibility of all things 🤡

🚨 “Zohran is literally attempting to do what conservatives say we want to do, which is provide gender affirming care to anyone who wants it for free. We're gonna fly people in and pay for their hotel rooms.”

That’s Daniel Goulden, a member of NYC DSA’s Steering Committee, speaking on a panel DSA just uploaded from last month’s Socialism 2025 conference.

Goulden worked on Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, helped write the trans policy platform, and says he regularly meets with Zohran and his staff.

“We collaborated with the Zohran Mamdani campaign on his trans rights platform, and what we explicitly wanted to do was use the power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care—and I say free in case insurance companies decide to boot us off—free gender affirming care not just to people in New York City but across the country.”

“DSA has regular meetings with him, let alone his team. His policy director is my friend. I've been working with his campaign manager for well over a year.”

This isn’t hypothetical. DSA operatives are openly planning to turn New York City into a national hub for trans healthcare—flying people in, paying for hotels, mailing prescriptions across state lines—and doing it on the taxpayer’s dime.

And it’s not just about healthcare. It’s about power.

“With Zohran, we’re in basically the best possible position to seize state power.”

They’re not hiding it. They’re posting it proudly. The Democratic Socialists of America are building a machine—rooted in radicalism, empowered by city government, and led by a man now poised to run the largest city in America. “We wrote the platform with him… now he’s going to be mayor.”

In this clip, NYC DSA’s Daniel Goulden spells it out. Zohran Mamdani didn’t just accept support—he let DSA write his trans policy platform. Their goal? Turn NYC into the national distribution hub for gender transition procedures.

“What we explicitly wanted to do was use the power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care and I say free in case insurance companies decide to boot us off.. Free gendering affirming care, not just to people in New York City but across the country.”

They're planning to override red states by any means necessary.

“There’s no reason at all that we can’t use telehealth and mailing prescriptions to people across the country to undermine state bans.”

Goulden lays out just how deeply NYC DSA is embedded in Mamdani’s campaign.

“The Zohran campaign was always eager to work with us… the team was so happy to work with us on this.”

“All of a sudden my work shifts from being on the outside to thinking about how to utilize the fairly significant municipal power of New York City.”

“The model we used in New York is 100% replicatable [SIC] both in terms of our trans organizing, but also getting Zohran elected mayor.”

This is the plan. In their own words.

🚨 The Family Must Go: DSA Panel Pushes Full-Scale Cultural Revolution

“I want to perform abortions at a church before it’s all said and done.”

“The only real difference between marriage and prostitution is the price and the duration of the contract.”

“Sex work and marriage can’t exist without each other—they’re two sides of the same coin.”

“We argue for abolition of the family in general… the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system.”

“When we talk about family abolition, we’re talking about the abolition of the economic unit… all of our material needs taken care of by the collective.”

I don’t know what the National Democratic Socialists of America are thinking—but they just uploaded a panel to their YouTube channel from Socialism 2025 called “The Left and the Family,” and no surprise, it is anti-family, anti-children, and deeply disturbing.

The panelists:
– Emily Janakiram, writer and organizer with New York City for Abortion Rights
– Katie Gibson, Teaching Fellow at the University of Chicago
– Eman Abdelhadi, University of Chicago sociologist (and somehow the most reasonable one)

This is their “future of care”: abolish the family, collectivize child-rearing, normalize sex work, and radicalize children into the movement.

It feels like the Democratic Socialists of America are drunk off their Zohran Mamdani win—and now they want to burn the whole house down. Eman Abdelhadi is the "moderate" on the family abolition panel—but that’s more strategic, not an ideological compromise. Her argument is clear: incremental material wins like universal pre-K are worth pursuing only as steps toward a more radical future—one in which the family, capitalism, and liberal society are dismantled entirely.

“We live in a shitty, horrible-ass, no-good society… We might fight for material improvements… under a system that is frankly horrifying.”

She frames family abolition as a “liberatory horizon,” something to be held alongside short-term policy goals. The danger, in her view, is not being too radical—but becoming satisfied with reforms and mistaking them for real liberation. Her concern is being “bought off.”

“Otherwise we fall into a liberal tendency… to be like, okay, we’re bought off now.”

She doesn't reject reform. She co-opts it—to normalize revolutionary goals over time and shift the Overton window without triggering backlash. It's an explicit call for ideological patience and strategic duality.

“They're not two things to reconcile. They're two things to hold at once.”

This is not moderation. It's a roadmap for revolution by way of reforms.

Mahmoud Khalil is back in the spotlight — first meeting with Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill, then speaking at the “Stop ICE Abductions and Block the Bombs” event tonight.

This is the same guy who led campus building takeovers and spoke in favor of violent resistance. Not exactly someone politcians should be elevating. American Friends Service Committee's Nusaiba Mubarak introduced activist Mahmoud Khalil with incendiary language accusing the U.S. government of politically motivated repression.

“Mahmoud was effectively kidnapped by plainclothes federal immigration agents and wrongfully detained for over 100 days without charge, because of his advocacy against Israel’s ongoing genocide.”

Mubarak painted a sweeping picture of persecution.

“Activists… have faced increasing retaliation, including deportation threats, visa revocations, detention, and heightened surveillance.”

Khalil echoed the same framing, portraying his ICE detention as part of a coordinated campaign:

“It’s part of a broader campaign to silence dissent, to criminalize solidarity, to repress the movement… and the U.S. government’s complicity in genocide.”

He claimed he was targeted “For my freedom of speech… for being Palestinian.”

It’s mentioned in passing, but we learn that Khalil wasn’t lobbying alone—he was joined in these meetings by Brad Parker, Associate Director of Policy at the Center for Constitutional Rights, a group known for defending radical activism under the banner of civil liberties.

“Death to America.”

That’s the phrase 20-year-old American activist Calla Walsh chants from Tehran—“Marg bar Âmrikâ”—while praising “all the martyrs” and glorifying the “axis of resistance,” Iran’s alliance with terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

“Glory to all the martyrs, glory to the axis of resistance. May we see victory within our lifetimes. Marg bar Âmrikâ.”

If she loves the “axis of resistance” so much, she’s welcome to stay there. This isn’t just fringe rhetoric—Walsh has acted on her ideology here at home, becoming the “resistance” herself through direct action with Palestine Action US, now rebranded as Unity of Fields.

In November 2023, she was arrested as part of the “Merrimack 4,” a militant group that attacked the Elbit Systems facility in New Hampshire. The site—owned by an Israeli defense contractor—was broken into, vandalized, spray-painted, and smoke-bombed. Walsh and her comrades climbed the roof, livestreamed the raid, and were caught with an incendiary device. The FBI later seized her phone and opened an investigation into her ties to Palestine Action US and funder Fergie Chambers.

🧵With Zohran Mamdani’s primary win shaking up New York politics, people are finally paying attention to the socialist movement in America again. It’s long overdue.

Yes, the landscape is fractured — a maze of groups, egos, ideological turf wars, and purity tests. But one organization is crystal clear about what it wants: revolution. Enter Freedom Road Socialist Organization...

To catch people up, we’re taking a look at FRSO’s May 29, 2025 broadcast — a national event marking their 40th anniversary, where they laid their revolutionary agenda bare.

“The U.S. is a prison house of nations, and it’s time to open the prison gates.”

“Capitalism is a failed system and it must be replaced with socialism… the rule of the working class.”

They reject gradualism and mock nonviolence.

“We are not the turn the other cheek club.”

“When we encounter fires, we're not going to try to put them out… we're going to try to bring fuel to them.”

They take credit for the George Floyd riots: “We were part of leading the largest Black-led rebellion in history.”

And they’re not shy about the endgame!

“We believe we can build a new party… to lead the working class in overthrowing the 1%.”

“The working class can and will reorganize society… free of private exploitation, oppression, war, and destruction.”

This isn’t just rhetoric. FRSO is active — from college campuses to labor unions to street protests. They are organizing for power, not policy tweaks. Crisley Carpio opened by calling FRSO “a group that is serious about revolution and applying revolutionary science to the United States.” The event, she said, would reflect on “our past, our present… and how we’re gonna define our future and define our own destiny.”

She linked the group’s roots to anti-war radicals inspired by “national liberation movements in Vietnam and in China led by communist revolutionaries.”

Carpio highlighted FRSO’s ideological resilience: “Disheartened by the fall of the Soviet Union, many revolutionaries across the U.S. gave up — but not us... We resisted attempts to liquidate Marxism-Leninism… and came out of it hardened and sealed.”

She noted the group’s experience with FBI repression and survival strategy: “We withstood FBI raids… Our organization actually has a methodical way of dealing with repression.”

What she didn’t say outright — but clearly laid out — was a roadmap of the night’s presenters: veterans of the "anti-war" left, labor organizers, national liberation activists, and the emerging front against Trump.

Who is this and where may you know them from?

Carpio is a longtime activist, member of FRSO’s Central Committee, and chair of its student commission. A former Students for a Democratic Society organizer, she was also one of the “Tampa 5” arrested after protesting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Last week, I sat in on Refuse Fascism’s organizing call for their upcoming four days of protest (July 1–4). Don’t be fooled by the name—Refuse Fascism isn’t some grassroots movement. It’s a front for the Revolutionary Communist Party, funded by the Alliance for Global Justice (yes, the same group that pushed $54.2 million in 2020 to fuel radical unrest).

The playbook is simple: appear just mainstream enough to lure in the curious—then radicalize them. The real mission? Mass mobilization against anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders. President Trump is just the most convenient “fascist” to rally against.

Buckle up—this thread is a wild, an often comical tour through Sunsara Taylor’s latest attempt to normalize Communism.🧵 This exchange came near the end of the call, but it was one of the most revealing moments—exposing just how little transparency there is behind this group as it works to mobilize people under a vague anti-fascist banner.

For what it’s worth, I actually signed up through Bluesky—clearly part of their strategy to target disaffected leftists who fled Twitter.

When asked directly whether she was anti-democracy, Sunsara Taylor responded not with denial, but deflection—accusing critics of “red-baiting” and “serving fascism.”

She says:

“Even if I was 100% against democracy… that should still not be a reason for you to not work with Refuse Fascism.”

Let that sink in.

Taylor then goes on to clarify that she’s not a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party—just an “active revcom” and a follower of Bob Avakian, whom she calls the “architect of the new communism.” She explicitly identifies as a revolutionary communist. Important to note that Refuse Fascism always partially works out of the Revolution Communist Party "Revolution Books."

She defends working across ideological lines, not because she supports democracy, but because she sees mass mobilization as a means to unseat the existing system, not reform it.

This is the woman organizing mass protests in the name of “saving democracy.”
